Your tax dollars being pissed down the drain

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive.

From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

Booooo Thermofisher! Booooo Agilent! Time to order from elsewhere.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON —  January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

End Qualified Immunity now. Hold the ICE officer who blocked aid accountable for Renee Good’s death.

This appears to simply be their best idea to have gun violence no longer be the top cause of pediatric deaths.

Is there a single day—1 single day—when RFK Jr does NOT do something to dismantle public health?

This one is exceptionally grim—IMHO, the USPSTF is world-leading

As Dr Caroll says, if you ever got a free mammogram, colonoscopy, or HIV test, you can thank the USPSTF

The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends

Rotavirus
Hepatitis A & B
Meningitis
Influenza
RSV

I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis.

We all are going to be caring for a lot more now.

Immigrants kept from Faneuil Hall citizenship ceremony as feds crackdown nationwide Trump administration is pausing naturalizations for immigrants from 19 countries.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

Nah. Can’t be ‘united’ if the political party is a laughably incapable opposition that is now just kicking the can down to midterms.

‼️ ICYMI: Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock, which was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data w/ ICE & law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

‘People will die because of this’: How RFK Jr. drove out the CDC’s senior leaders On the same day Susan Monarez was fired, four of the agency’s top leaders quit.

New: In 7 months, Kennedy has broken the CDC, perhaps irreparably. For all he’s done with mass firings, gutting expertise, and attacking vaccines, Wednesday’s loss of its most senior and competent leaders—truly the CDC’s backbone—is the most consequential attack yet.

The most important part of this article, to me, is the end.

It challenges a false binary between “long COVID” and “everyone else.”

Maybe it's a spectrum... 🧵 (1/5)

Supreme Court lets Trump administration cut $783 million of research funding in anti-DEI push The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to slash hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of research funding in its push to cut federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

A loss for:
- Cancer research
- HIV research
- Vaccine research
- Chronic disease research think heart disease, dementia, obesity, diabetes etc.
All of this compounded by the brain drain of young researchers losing hope in the viability of careers in research & science.

Anyone remember when RFK lied to CONGRESS that he wouldn’t cut any “working scientists?”

Yeah… I’m sure.

‘Experts’ Cited By RFK Jr. to Justify mRNA Vaccine Funding Cut Have Ties to Anti-vax Supplement Company Four authors of the non-peer reviewed, anti-vax bibliography cited by Kennedy’s HHS are involved with The Wellness Company.

Let me get this straight: RFK Jr’s $500m cut to mRNA contracts was based on a non‑peer‑reviewed, self‑published, anti-vax bibliography authored by his cronies who are all tied to a ‘vaccine detox’ supplement company? Got it 👍

failed to earn the public's trust? it earned the scientists a Nobel prize 🏅 ffs.

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

So instead of cancer vaccines we get E. coli-laden milk and soda with cane sugar (50% fructose) instead of corn syrup (55% fructose). Fucking brilliant.

"We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted..."

Words really don't mean anything anymore, do they?

The incompetence is staggering, the political motives, clear as day.

www.hhs.gov/press-room/h...

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death
